wasn't Onyx part of BM? i might be getting my east-coast rappers mixed up, but i'm pretty sure he was at least affiliated with them...

Onyx the group has no connection to Black Moon/Bootcamp Click. Onyx the Birthstone Kid was the third member of KMD on their first album but was out of the group by the time Black Bastards was recorded.

@GC90,
The Beasties vid, for Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun, has that shot of them in the limo smoking a bong. I was recently looking online for that footage. Forgot it was from that video. I would love to see that nights proceedings.

And yah, the beasties are aggressive but kind of humouus too. My vote goes to Onyx (the group).

Willie D is hands down the most aggressive force in hip hop. And his rage isn't just lashing out of a place of desperation, the man is so frustrated and so precise with vocalizing those frustrations because he is a very smart and informed individual.

Yeah, Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz are the most recognizable cats from the group mostly due to the fact that they both went on to some semblance of a solo 'career'; if that's what you want to call starring on Moesha and releasing a couple albums on the dolo.

Always thought the line in Alive about not smoking pot was funny since they clearly smoked back in the day lol

"Don't smoke Cheeba, can't stand sess" -MCA

He had another on Ill Communication, on The Scoop, " well I stopped smoking Cheeba that was part of the key"But on the same hand, Adrock says, "legalise the weed and I'll say thank heavens" on B Boys Makin With The Freak Freak.

So obviously with MCA becoming a practicing buhddist he quit buhdda. How ironic.

Dude I said " riffs". I thought it was more appropriate than bites. Something that could be seen as offensive. My buddy and I got into a fight in grade seven with some other kids because some kid said my buddy was a biter.

I feel you, but I'm using it with the utmost respect. Not saying, 'MCA's a biter!' Just acknowledging the fact that he borrowed the line from someone else. And in the sample based world of hip hop I find no problem with MCs doing that.

holy shit, how could i have forgotten about DG??? i seem to be the biggest fan of them on these boards, strange...but yes. i would recommend starting at the beginning of their discog first though, with Exmilitary before moving on to the godliness of The Money Store and the cold, minimal electronics that inspired Yeezus with NO LOVE DEEP WEB. album artwork aside, that shit was and is still one of my favorite albums of the past few years...

EL - P ( if you been to any of his live shows, he is over aggro with the crowd, he's grown up a bit, don't think anyone can top this guy)
Company Flow
Immortal Technique (most of his beats piss me off, there not as hard as his lyrics are, if he had Army Of the Pharoes production, Whoa!!)
Diabolic
Circle Of Tyrants ( Jedi mind tricks affiliation)
And quite a few of us UK cats, lets face it no-sounds like us when we drop the C%$! word, especially if we emphasize the T at the end. Just found a kid called Dirty Dike (UK), through the new Lord Lhus & Al Tarba album, Acid & Venom, dam consistent heavy hiphop.

Only problem with most Hard heavy Hiphop is they bring so many problems to notice for our awareness but don't offer a positive solution, it can be dam draining to listen to a whole album of stuff like that
